CHASE

You know you've found love...

When you see her flaws,
Understand her weaknesses,
Overlook her imperfections,

And you still can't live without her.

from a writer's point of view, the line "overlook her imperfections" seem redundant.

but as a layman, the other lines are enough to make you "overlook" that one redundancy.

i chanced upon the above on the bus ride back to tanjong rhu...on an ad for channel 5's CHASE...as i was listening to Jazz In The City.

before that, i was already feeling rather fucked up by an insurance lady asking me questions like:

"there'll come a time you'd want to get married, right?"

"and then you'll want to have kids, right?"

"and then you know that you'll die, right?"

i had to smile and nod politely to all three rhetorical questions...although i really just wanted to say "no" to everything she posed.

i live on my own. i might not wanna get married. i might not wanna have kids. of course i know i'll die.

so sue me.

and it's not because i like defying conventions.

okay...let's digress from that depressing topic a little.

i was finally able to point out my idea of a "cute nerd".

jac and angus were wondering out loud "how nerds could ever be cute", and when i couldn't point out an example to them, they said that "it's beginning to sound like a myth".

AH-HA!

i pointed out BERNARD LO.

i had the biggest crush on him way back in poly...(COULD YOU IMAGINE I ALREADY STARTED WATCHING SQUAWKBOX THEN?!)

still like'em nerdy and bespectacled =)

work my mind.
